The ants are joined by a quilted doodle line around the quilt.<br /><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3310/3548927583_29b1f8bc27_b.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 490px; height: 660px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3310/3548927583_29b1f8bc27_b.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />Here's a close-up of the centre panel<br /><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3644/3548929155_2930fce993_b.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 660px; height: 490px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3644/3548929155_2930fce993_b.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />I'm still busy working on different versions of the princess playset - Evie loves playing with it and this weekend it was featured on <a href="http://www.oneprettything.com/?p=9948">one pretty thing's</a> flickr roundup!

But i also realised, i hadn't posted a picture of the actual storysack, so here it is;<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0j2pxOTFGlc/S90_jMSVu2I/AAAAAAAAAIY/7poeHjgPYRE/s1600/APRIL2010+145.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0j2pxOTFGlc/S90_jMSVu2I/AAAAAAAAAIY/7poeHjgPYRE/s400/APRIL2010+145.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466595396523768674" /></a><br /><br />I've also been busy making this;<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0j2pxOTFGlc/S91AGx983vI/AAAAAAAAAIg/SALyyDPlY4Y/s1600/APRIL2010+151.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0j2pxOTFGlc/S91AGx983vI/AAAAAAAAAIg/SALyyDPlY4Y/s400/APRIL2010+151.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466596007934222066" /></a><br />It's <a href="http://www.simplicity.com/p-1733-crafts.aspx">the Simplicity pattern 2809</a>. I was a little worried about it before i started, because the pattern pieces looked quite bizzare, and i couldn't figure how on earth they were going to come together to look anything like the cover picture. I needn't have worried though because the pattern was pretty much fool proof - apart from the nappy pattern - less said about that the better! and i'm really pleased with how it came out and Evie must be too, as she has nabbed it before i had time to make any other clothes!Katiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17228076746596920305noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195196442830062057.post-39237878550403368772010-04-24T10:24:00.000-07:002010-04-24T10:48:48.175-07:00Unicorn CapeEvie has very specific requests sometimes. In this case she ordered a unicorn costume - it had to be pink and purple with wings that are shiney but not really there (what??!!!) and a twirly purple horn. Sometimes i think she overestimates my sewing abilities....<br />But who could resist this face;<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0j2pxOTFGlc/S9MsRgvocfI/AAAAAAAAAH4/C-BVjQROidk/s1600/spring2010+119.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0j2pxOTFGlc/S9MsRgvocfI/AAAAAAAAAH4/C-BVjQROidk/s400/spring2010+119.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5463759452289659378" /></a><br /><br />It's basically a hood with ears and mane attached to a gathered semi-circle for the wings, with a tail stuck at the end.<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0j2pxOTFGlc/S9MtoDBzG3I/AAAAAAAAAIA/RLBUADz_AUA/s1600/spring2010+117.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0j2pxOTFGlc/S9MtoDBzG3I/AAAAAAAAAIA/RLBUADz_AUA/s400/spring2010+117.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5463760938961410930" /></a><br /><br />But i think she likes it<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0j2pxOTFGlc/S9MuvpVeNdI/AAAAAAAAAII/DC_Rqat-Erc/s1600/spring2010+122.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0j2pxOTFGlc/S9MuvpVeNdI/AAAAAAAAAII/DC_Rqat-Erc/s400/spring2010+122.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5463762169015186898" /></a>Katiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17228076746596920305noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195196442830062057.post-21137498544232155692010-04-23T10:54:00.000-07:002010-04-23T11:22:11.323-07:00Princess and the Pea PlaysetIn an attempt to get Evie more interested in reading and books in general, i made her a storysack and as it was for Evie of course it had to be princessy! I made this princess and the pea playset so she could act out the story. I based it on the illustrations from <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Princess-Pea-Little-Pebbles/dp/0789205157/ref=sr_1_120?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1272045830&sr=1-120">this version.</a> It all packs away into the little lunchbox which doubles as the front of the castle;<br /><a href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4016/4545517768_975a7baef5.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 500px; height: 375px;" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4016/4545517768_975a7baef5.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />Inside is the bed, complete with a pea on the sheet<br /><a href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4004/4545518276_77abb11c14.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 500px; height: 375px;" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4004/4545518276_77abb11c14.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />And of course, LOTS of matresses!<br /><a href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4003/4545518796_a48ebd26e4.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 500px; height: 375px;" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4003/4545518796_a48ebd26e4.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />And they all lived happily ever after....<br /><a href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4024/4545519524_7bb9956b0a.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 500px; height: 375px;" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4024/4545519524_7bb9956b0a.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>Katiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17228076746596920305noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195196442830062057.post-37678090705125695562010-04-23T10:51:00.001-07:002010-04-23T10:51:59.820-07:00HelloWelcome to my new blog.
